Hi @jvalal,

Thanks for the screen movie. You're trying to add a frame hold to a nested sequence and getting unexpected behavior. Is that right? Can you show us a screenshot of the contents of the nest? At the end of the Timeline, are those adjustment layers?

 

I apologize, but seeing what's going on without the project file to inspect makes it difficult to assist. Feel free to PM me a link to your project file (no media necessary), and I can have the product team take a closer look.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi @Kevin-Monahan This is not a nested sequence. Not sure where you see that. There are no adjustment layers. I'll PM you the project. Thanks!

    @Kevin-Monahan 

    No, I mean I'm simply dragging the graphic on to the timeline "over" the video to achieve the lower thirds. Then I do the hold frame, because I can't drag the graphic out to the end of the timeline as that option isn't available. Because I can only drag the clip so far. the total graphic length is X seconds, which includes an into and outtro. I want to hold the graphic "open" so that it's visible throughout the whole video then the outro at the end of the video at the time I choose. Linked below is a video showing my workflow and the issue.
    note

    1. I don't actively nest anything. I simply drag the lower thirds onto my timeline, add captions, convert captions to graphics and that's when the issue materializes

    2. I don't have the ability to drag the clip to the end

    3. The Closed captioning seems to be causing the issue, but it's not consistent, as noted in my video. 

    Please take a few minutes to see the issue, because we still don't have a solution or reason as to why CC is obscuring the layers in some places and not others.

    Hey Jason,

    Thanks for the movie. I hope I can help you. In the timeline, select the "lower third" - and then show us a screenshot of the Effect Controls panel. Are there any animated properties there?

     

    Then, in the timeline, double-click the lower third "nest." A new sequence should open. Show us a screenshot of what you see in the timeline there. Is the main blue graphic inside the nest?

     

    Is that "lower third" a third-party graphic? It does not appear to be a .mogrt. It's the thing that's not quite right with your workflow. Is it from Envato Elements? You may have to customize that graphic to make it lock into your existing workflow.

     

    If you can't trim a nested sequence and extend it in the main sequence, the content inside the nest has not been extended, either. You've got to step inside the nest and trim it out there; then, you can drag it out in the main sequence.

     

    To extend a simple graphic, you should not have to do a frame hold; only if it's inside a nest, as you have shown. Check it out; the feature is disabled for standard graphics files.

     

    Hope to assist you ASAP.

     

    Thanks,
    Kevin
